Tans is pretty long overdue for an update, so off we go. Back in June, we had our follow-up, and for the first time, it wasn’t with Chuck. Because his coverage area is so huge, he’s started sending people to do follow-ups, unless I guess the person has a huge problem or he’s in the …

Rogers Centre Fan Assist: This Fan Thanks You For Your Assistance.
A few weeks ago, Steve and I went to another Blue Jays game, one of the last games of the season. That was a fun game to watch. But the reason I’m writing about it is because we learned about a service offered by the Rogers Centre that’s pretty cool, and I wish it was …

An Update From The Land Of Brad And Trix
I’m so glad Brad did this update, complete with pictures. Now we can catch up on the life of Trix, which is still pretty good. Take it away, Brad. Rumour has it that it’s been quite some time since we last heard how good Ole Trixie is doing. Well my hound-loving blog readers, we’re about …
“Is Your Dog Friendly?” “Are You Friendly?”
I have often been asked if someone could pet my dog. I’ve never been asked if my dog could play with theirs, but I can imagine it happening. Even if I had, I would have never dreamed that if I said no, the response would consist of a volley of rocks fired at my dog. …

Thank you, Bingemans Waterpark
I wanted to write a post to say thanks to a local business. I do a lot of screeching and chewing, so it’s nice to be able to say something positive. That business is Bingemans. The folks at my awesome job had an employee and family picnic there. My first reaction was “Woooohooo! I’ve never …
Aww What An Adorable Wheelchair!
I saw this video, laughed, and then thought it made a great point. Now, doesn’t that look ridiculous? And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all those things happen, if not directly to me, then to someone else I know who has a service dog. It adds another dimension to the no petting the dog rule. …
The Tanser Bear Birthday Bash!
It’s almost Tansy’s birthday. The beast turns 5 on Tuesday. Can you believe it? I can’t, and I know it to be a fact. Since I have missed all the other anniversaries this year, it’s time to have a giant Shmans chatter fest. Goddamnit, her life needs to be documented too, even if it has …
Gearing Up For Training at GDB
I don’t know how long this video has been around, but it’s a neat idea. Both times I’ve gone to GDB, they always warn me that people find out how out of shape they are when they start training, and lots of people get shin splints and the like. I guess someone has come up …
The Lee S. Shenk memorial fund
I have been meaning to write this one down for weeks. Oh well, better late than never I guess. Shortly after Lee Shenk passed away, I got news that a memorial fund was set up in his honour. If you want to help his family, there it is. Yes I know it’s been a while, …
I’ve Had My First Pretty Unpleasant Uber experience now.
So yesterday I had my first refusal by an Uber driver. I had a cart full of groceries and the fellow just kept saying no dog in car, and even tried once to tell me to put the dog in the trunk. Nope, no dog in trunk. He actually got quite hostile, and told me …
